Adds incorrect birth category based on {{Birth date based on age at death}}
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

[[Robert P. Goldberg]] contains | birth_date = {{Birth date based on age at death |49 |1994|02|25}}, which displays that he was born in 1944/1945. However, AWB 5.8.5.1 (SVN 11887) general fixes wants to change [[Category:Year of birth missing]] to [[Category:1994 births]], even though 1994 was his death year.

Instead, could AWB be fixed so it will change the category to [[Category:1940s births]] when the two years are in the same decade, and [[Category:Year of birth uncertain]] when the two years are in different decades?
